Chương 133: Make a Baby

Alexander was in the middle of a meeting when Rico called. He answered instantly, only to feel his heart sink as Rico explained that they had lost track of Rain while following her car. She had gone out for lunch with a colleague, another prosecutor on her team, but now they had no idea where she was.

He could have called her right then, but he stopped himself. He didn't want to seem overly protective—again. Rain was fiercely independent, something he admired, but the part of him that always needed to know where she was, who she was with, and if she was safe, was hard to keep in check.

After that call, he couldn't focus. The meeting was a blur, and eventually, he dismissed everyone. He kept monitoring the situation until finally, Rico reported that they had found her eating lunch. He felt a wave of relief wash over him. For all he cared, this could be work-related, but something still felt off.
